§ 68. Sir HENRY NORMANasked what are the instructions given to Metropolitan 832 police constables respecting their duties in regard to street noises, whether individual or industrial, between the hours of midnight and 8 o'clock a.m.?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Metropolitan police have instructions to deal with noises in the streets where they have power to do so by Statute or by-law. Where no such power exists they are instructed to use their discretion in speaking to persons responsible for unnecessary or unreasonable noise, and they are often successful in putting a stop to such noise.
